Actually you don't need the extra cost the "organic" label drags along with it. Virgin cold pressed coconut oil is just fine.

Think about where most of the coconut oil comes from. Second or third world countries. I think it would be quite hard to grow coconut tree plantations in soils and conditions that the "Organic" label would demand to be labeled as such in the US.

Coconut Oil, like palm oil, is full of saturated fat. Its the last thing you should have.

I beg to differ. Perhaps you are unaware that BOTH medium-chain triglycerides and long-chain triglycerides are called "saturated fat," especially by the processed-food industry, and that it's the LONG-chain triglycerides that are bad for you and the MEDIUM-chain triglycerides are good for you (and THAT'S what coconut oil has).
